Hypostatic jammed packings of frictionless nonspherical particles
Kyle VanderWerf, Weiwei Jin, Mark D. Shattuck +1
We perform computational studies of static packings of a variety of nonspherical particles including circulo-lines, circulo-polygons, ellipses, asymmetric dimers, and dumbbells to…
The response of jammed packings to thermal fluctuations
Q. Wu, T. Bertrand, M. D. Shattuck +1
We focus on the response of mechanically stable (MS) packings of frictionless, bidisperse disks to thermal fluctuations, with the aim of quantifying how nonlinearities affect syste…
Local and global avalanches in a 2D sheared granular medium
Jonathan Barés, Dengming Wang, Dong Wang +3
We present the experimental and numerical studies of a 2D sheared amorphous material constituted of bidisperse photo-elastic disks. We analyze the statistics of avalanches during s…
Critical scaling near the yielding transition in granular media
Abram H. Clark, Jacob D. Thompson, Mark D. Shattuck +2
We show that the yielding transition in granular media displays second-order critical-point scaling behavior. We carry out discrete element simulations in the low inertial number l…
Stable small bubble clusters in two-dimensional foams
K. Zhang, C. -C. Kuo, C. S. O'Hern +1
Key features of the mechanical response of amorphous particulate materials, such as foams, emulsions, and granular media, to applied stress are determined by the frequency and size…
Packing in Protein Cores
Jennifer C. Gaines, Abram H. Clark, Lynne Regan +1
Proteins are biological polymers that underlie all cellular functions. The first high-resolution protein structures were determined by x-ray crystallography in the 1960s. Since the…
